S2 E122: When Christians Disappoint You… Now What?
from Unpolished but Called · host Kathrin Shaffer
Welcome to Unpolished but Called, where we have honest conversations about faith, real life, and following Jesus through both the good and the difficult seasons.In this episode, we're continuing a conversation many Christians eventually face:What happens when Christians disappoint you?Whether it's a pastor, mentor, musician, influencer, friend, or someone who helped shape your faith, disappointment can cut deep. When trust is broken, it's easy to become cynical, guarded, or even question everything that came before.But does someone's failure erase the good they once brought into your life?In this episode, we talk about disappointment, discernment, rebuilding trust, and why allowing hurt to harden our hearts can sometimes create even deeper wounds. We'll explore the difference between church hurt and disappointment, why imperfect people can still impact our lives in meaningful ways, and how God can use disappointment to mature our faith rather than destroy it.People will fail us.Jesus won't.And sometimes the lesson isn't learning to trust nobody. Sometimes it's learning who deserves our deepest trust in the first place.🔗Linktree: https://linktr.ee/unpolishedbutcalled📧 Subscribe to the newsletter and receive the free devotional:kathrinshaffer.com🎙️ Listen to The Long Way Through Scripture Bible Study Podcast❤️ Support the podcast and ministry resources through the website.If you're enjoying these conversations, be sure to subscribe so you don't miss future episodes.#ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #ChurchHurt #Discipleship #UnpolishedButCalled
